Blackjack Strategy Trainer and doubling

[DC15]

I have been using the blackjack strategy trainer and its a good way to get your strategy locked down, my question is why does the trainer state that you should double on 10 against a 10. All the charts I have ever read including the one's on this website say to hit and not double.
I Play S17, D9, DAS, No Surrender, No Peak.

Probably because you had the trainer set to single deck.

Uh, but you don't double a 10 against a 10 in single deck.

Im just wondering, does it tell you to double 9vs7 and A5 vs 3 as well, cause unless im sadly mistaken these would actuall be a BS play in 1/2 deck game.

If not,

1: You were reading the wrong chart.

2: You were reading the right chart, and its simply wrong!

3: You were simply misreading the chart!

Could you tell me exactly what rules this would be true for, or provide a link to a BS chart showing this?

I haven't checked myself, but the two plays jack jackson described sound like they could quite possibly be correct basic strategy for the game he mentioned. Remember, he's talking about a "1/2" deck game, with only 26 cards in the deck.

Back to DC15's initial question... The blackjack strategy trainer at this site doesn't say you should double 10vT under any rule settings. Perhaps you were confused? Or at another site with a less accurate trainer?

Never having heard of a 1/2 deck game, I interpreted that to be "1 or 2 deck game". Maybe he'll clear that up for us. Or for me, at least.

I think he did mean 1 or 2 deck game. It would make no sense to be talking about a 1/2 deck game...

Im am 110% sure it suggests that the correct startegy is to double 10 against picture cards, I played the game over and over and found that it doesnt suggest to hit on ten against an actual ten, but it does when 10 comes up against a picture card. Im convinced its a problem in the software because the strategy charts all suggest hitting on 10 against 10.
